Answer 1

Hi

Brazilians love Children..
In the US "children are seen but not herad", but in bRAZIL It's different , their accompany their parents to restaurants .

Regarding cooking :
Brazil is so big and each region has different styles of food.
In the South it's meat on barbecue, in Sao Paulo it's very Italian, and Brazilians claim to make the best pizza in the world, In Bahia , the food as more a African flavour, and further north it has Indian influences.
So the Au Pair will no doubt cook the type of food from the area she comes from.

Answer 2

I am half Brazilian (first generation american) and grew up with some of the food. I recommend Feijoada (fej-o-ada) it's also called 'the poor man's meal' It's delicious. Black beans and rice made into a thick stew that has about 4 different kinds of meats/sausages in it. Pastel is also an good easy one. A flat/thin square of dough with a filling of anything. I usually had (hard boiled) eggs, ground beef mashed together and with one teaspoon to fill one pastel and half a green olive added then sealed on into a triangle with raw egg as the glue, then it was all deep fried for a few seconds. (the inside was already cooked). Oh, it's all good. And if you can get it, Guarana, it's a soft drink from a fruit from Brazil. It most closely tastes like cream soda... but not.
I would look at it as a foreign exchange. My husband thinks all the things I want to cook is weird, but it's how you are brought up. My Russian grandmother always told me, try one bite, if you don't like it, you don't have to have it again. I never hated anything I tried. And I tried to pass that onto my kids. They are 14 and like calamari, escargo, king crab, and of few of my more 'strange' foods but they still have a thing about mushrooms... go figure. Don't worry about what she cooks. Just the cleanliness of what she cooks and all should be good.
Oh, for the pastel, offer her a chinese wonton skin from the supermarket instead of stratch dough. That's what makes it so easy.
